Punjab Kings (PBKS) skipper and Indian batter Shreyas Iyer won hearts with a touching gesture towards a fan, proving once again why he remains a fan-favourite both on and off the field. A video went viral on social media showing Iyer giving an autograph to a fan holding a poster. The heartwarming gesture quickly captured attention and became the talk of the town.

The incident took place when Iyer was spotted in his car during Mumbai T20 League. As he approached the main gate, a fan ran up excitedly toward the vehicle, holding a poster that read “Sarpanch Sahab” (Chief) — a fun and affectionate nickname the fan had given him. Rather than driving past, Iyer rolled down his window with a warm smile and personally signed the poster for the visibly thrilled fan.

Here’s the video:
